No Condition Is Permanent

Pictured: Fela Anikulapo-Kuti. 

And so we survived another Saturday night, its temperature moderated only by the proximity of ice cubes. Fortunately, the latter were in ready supply, doled out in one’s and two’s by LaWanda, bartender at The Purple Bat Lounge. Resident DJ’s Reeshard & Lee-Roy selected four sets of high energy tunes, and we learned of a most Psychotronic™ twin-bill playing at The Madison: a pair of horror movie musicals(?). Lee-Roy, alongside his principal frenemy Nice Guy Eddie and assorted other reprobates, spent significant time mesmerized by the bug zapper adjacent to the bar’s outdoor patio in the alley out back. To paraphrase: It was the not-quite-best of times, it was the slightly-better-than-worst of times. An evening well spent, or at least artfully murdered, in a dive bar on Brush St.. Oh just admit it, you’re curious, so click in the right spots below to learn more. Tune in anyway…

Saturday night took on the aspect of an overworked pizza oven, especially within the sweat-summoning confines of the Purple Bat Lounge, and no one was more annoyed by the heat than N.C.I.P.’s canine co-host Lee-Roy. He loitered near bartender LaWanda, in faint hope that she might open the beer cooler and forget to close the door. Truly desperate, the pit bull retreated to the Purple Bat’s reopened Outdoor Patio — really just a group of folding chairs in the alley. What management termed a ‘patio’ was defined by a semi-circular arrangement of trash cans and a carriage lamp-model bug zapper, its violet death ray entertaining those unfocused types drinking al fresco. Now and then Lee-Roy would report on doings out back to his co-worker and guardian, Reeshard, while the latter cued up a perfect soundtrack to this fetid climate. The dog, to his credit, rallied in time to deliver a storming final set. It should be noted that none of those clichés about murder at high temperatures were actually borne out. True, other stuff happened, but you’ll have to listen (as below) to discover just what that was. Tune in anyway…

The music played, drinks were poured and strange vapors wafted from the Women’s doorway…all seemed well with the world, or at very least with the perverted microcosm of same represented inside The Purple Bat Lounge. Yet, amidst the merriment, an unsettling sound was heard again and again at irregular intervals, the sound of trouble brewing. A deeply unsettled Reeshard grilled his co-host, turning up the heat even to the point of threatening to send Uncle Morty’s truck on its way. With this ultimate threat, Lee-Roy caved to the pressure and revealed the source of the eerie sound: the dog’s longtime frenemy, green-fanged tuxedo cat Nice Guy Eddie, an employee of a bar down the block, now granted political asylum on The Purple Bat’s roof. Of Eddie’s plight we learned much, including the source of said disturbing sound. You’ll hear all this and so much more by clicking appropriately below. Tune in anyway…

You may love the Fourth of July’s pyrotechnics, but take it from one who knows: Dogs do not share your love for this holiday. Oh no, not just your tiny bit. Imagine an trembling 80 lb. pit bull glued to the side of your knee and the ensuing difficulty performing daily tasks factored into the weekend, and you’ll have half of an idea about life with Lee-Roy at this time of the year. The Purple Bat’s bartender, LaWanda, rallied to her canine friend’s plight, whipping up a batch of extra-potent Lee-Roy™ cocktails as four sets of terrific music colored the evening. Uncle Morty also came through for his four-footed pal, delivering a Detroit-themed delicacy tailor-made for alleviating the stress caused by those infernal boom-booms. Of course, no solution comes without a price, but you can find out about that, as well as the kung fu twin-bill at The Madison, three dozen cool songs and so much more, simply by clicking in the correct spots below.

Another Saturday night at the Purple Bat Lounge, where time stands still…until the medication runs out. On this particular Saturday however, for reasons no one can truly fathom, DJ Lee-Roy believes he’s won a prize. Nothing Reeshard says can dissuade the single-minded pit bull, the latter’s eyes unswervingly fixed on said award. Never mind that he has no idea as to what the prize is. There’s a lot of back and forth on the subject, but fortunately there are a lot more great tunes playing throughout the evening, providing a welcomed distraction. That is, until Uncle Morty’s truck rolls up, delivering an old favorite which arrives with its own set of complications. There’s so much more that could be explained, but why spoil the surprise?

As No Condition Is Permanent once again rounded the 25th show milepost (for the fifth time), hosts Reeshard & Lee-Roy celebrated the occasion as is their wont by selecting favorite tunes from the past two dozen shows. Merriment & hi-jinks galore ensued, though Lee-Roy was distracted by the arrival of the latest edition of Paws’N’Gravy, his favorite magazine. (This represents a fringe taste in canine porn, involving photos of long-haired she-dogs covered in motor oil, oatmeal…you probably get the picture.) So many great tunes played, Uncle Morty brought a new supply of Ultra Banana to the party (after clocking the bar’s curbside lawn jockey…again) and The Madison featured a spooky Blaxploitation twin-bill…AND they fixed the margarita slushee machine in their lobby! The vibe was great, no one got shot and our hosts survived to program yet another episode.

It wasn’t your usual Saturday evening at The Purple Bat Lounge. Oh, sure, a few dozen great tunes were played as always by DJ’s Reeshard & Lee-Roy. The outdoor patio (a.k.a. a few folding chairs set up in the back alley amidst a semi-circular arrangement of trash cans) was reopened to greet the onset of warm weather, its seated regulars entertained by newer, ever larger forms of insect life colliding with the bug zapper. However, when Uncle Morty’s Midnite Mobile™ dispensary dropped off a cylinder labeled Guard Dawg, a not-so-subtle strain of paranoia colored the air. We could tell you more, but that would cheapen an already cheap experience. Better, far better that you should click in the appropriate spaces below and discover the awful truth for yourselves.

It’s not just any old weekend that finds a Rudy Ray Moore double-bill playing at The Madison. Co-host Lee-Roy, a pit bull who believes in dressing for radio, rose to the occasion with style entirely worthy of his somewhat questionable role model, Moore’s filmic alter-ego Dolemite. Uncle Morty’s Midnite Mobile Dispensary™ pulled up to the curb with a strain appropriate to the occasion. In the DJ booth, Reeshard and the dog constructed four storming sets of music good enough to eat. And of course, as we are discussing the Purple Bat Lounge on a Saturday night, there was a scene in the Women’s — which may or may not have been instigated by Lee-Roy. (We’re guessing “may” as the correct answer.) To hear about all this and more, click in the right places immediately below. Tune in anyway…

“The future is looking so fine.” This could hardly be the judgement of a sentient being who reads the daily papers, so perhaps it comes as no surprise to learn that Lee-Roy, DJ at the Purple Bat Lounge, thus assessed last Saturday night. Given recent events in his life, perhaps he could be forgiven a burst of optimism. Bartender LaWanda had just handed him a Lee-Roy cocktail (recipe available upon request but, trust us, don’t ask), the Madison announced a twin-bill of Russ Meyer nudie-cutie films, there was our pitbull’s date with a nimble Akita to look forward to, plus an evening’s worth of great music about to unfold. Nonetheless, experience remains the best teacher, no one knowing this better than the dog’s guardian, Count Reeshard. Upon learning of his co-host’s rosy outlook, Reeshard muttered, “This isn’t going to play out well.” And believe us, he knew whereof he spoke. To find out why or, better, to hear four sets of lease-breaking music, click in the right spots below. Tune in anyway…

Raymond Chandler best summarized last week’s weather: “It was one of those hot dry Santa Anas that come down through the mountain passes and curl your hair and make your nerves jump and your skin itch. On nights like that every booze party ends in a fight. Meek little wives feel the edge of the carving knife and study their husbands’ necks. Anything can happen. You can even get a full glass of beer at a cocktail lounge.” At our lounge, The Purple Bat, co-host Lee-Roy was clearly beside himself. To say that the wind did not agree with him is to understate the case. However, radio professional that he is, the pit bull eventually steeled his resolve (with a little help both from Uncle Morty’s truck & the promise of a Pam Grier double-feature at The Madison) and soldiered on alongside Reeshard to deliver four sets of feral music as one might expect of a Saturday evening spent on Brush St..
